I love being outside, but I hate, hate, hate BUGS! This past weekend we had a graduation/18th Birthday party for the #SupermanturnedHulk and the bugs were party crashers for sure! I bought a large supply of those little bug bands that you can put on your wrist or ankle, AND we made a few batches of homemade bug spray.
I'm much more likely to spray this stuff on myself 100 times than use the outdoor chemically stuff even once! I can not stand the way it feels on my skin, I don't like the smell and I hate the fact that I will need to shower it off before climbing into bed!
The lil bean and I found several recipes on Pinterest and at her age now I just turned her loose with making them. She did a great job and they got plenty of use! I'm including a few links here just in case you decide you want to try this for yourself. Using these links doesn't cost you anything, they are just my personal preferences and if they are used I may receive a few pennies in my piggy bank.
Here is a link to the recipe we used, I like the smell of this one the best and it is fairly simple to remember how many drops of each oil!
I bought the cute little blue bottles on Amazon, I think you can find them in brown as well. They are glass so you have to be a little careful, but we have dropped them several times without ever breaking one.
You can also grab labels there, they have plenty to choose from. I have used these in the past and I have also just used my silhouette to cut some from vinyl. Really just depends on how much effort you want to put into it.
And in full disclosure, I am a doTerra preferred customer and am sharing the link associated with my own personal page. (I have used many different types of oils and prefer these. I signed up personally for the discount... I like to save a few pennies here and there!!) You can purchase your own set of oils for this recipe, again, this is just my preferred brand.

UHHHH.. I realized after the fact that the picture was taken before the labels made their way on the bottles!

It's another scorcher here today and its about time to start managing the Crazy around here... Hope you have a great one, and if you decide to try this recipe, let me know!
